摘要

电解水能够为我们提供清洁可持续的能源, 这对生态环境系 统大有裨益. 因此, 在电解水体系中, 开发新型有效的析氧催化剂迫 在眉睫. 本文首先通过自下而上的方法合成Au@ZIF-67, 再对其进 行控温处理得到纳米复合物Au@ZIF-67-500. 通过扫描电子显微 镜、透射电子显微镜、X射线光电子能谱和紫外光谱等一系列测 试手段揭示了材料的纳米结构形貌及其表面电子分布. 在 1.0 mol L−1 KOH电解液中, 利用三电极体系进行了电催化性能的 测试. 结果显示, 该纳米复合物在催化析氧反应过程中呈现出良好 的催化活性和较好的稳定性. 这一结果可以归功于三方面的协同 作用: 金纳米粒子的包覆、多孔结构和有效的热控制. 这种通过简 单方法制备的析氧催化剂对能量转换领域具有一定的借鉴意义.
